What if every young person had the power to build a better world?
This is the question that inspired the Sing for Hope Global Goals Arts Curriculum.
The United Nations' 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development stand as a powerful blueprint for peace and prosperity, yet they presented a unique opportunity for creative engagement.
With artists consistently at the forefront of movements for social justice and peace, it became clear that the Global Goals could be amplified by the universal language of the arts.
Our curriculum was born from this conviction: to give a creative voice to the Global Goals and share them through the transformative power of the arts.
Creative Writing
Visual Art
Drama
Music
Dance & Movement
The Sing for Hope Global Goals Arts Curriculum is a first-of-its-kind, free digital platform that empowers students in grades 5-12 to explore urgent global issues and imagine solutions through music, visual art, creative writing, dance, and drama. Designed for educators worldwide and aligned with the National Core Arts Standards (NCAS), this Curriculum is more than a resource; it's a movement.
Across the initial pilot in the Bronx and Westchester County, educators who embedded the Global Goals into their culture through the arts saw fundamental transformation: improved behavior, higher participation, and stronger attendance. Why? When students see their creativity linked to real-world change, they find purpose. The curriculum channels that purpose into developing the skills they need to become compassionate leaders and advocates for a better world.
The Curriculum equips young people with the creative, intellectual, and socio-emotional skills they need to become compassionate, informed global citizens, powerful advocates for positive change, and champions for Sing for Hope's mission of "Creating a Better World Through the Arts."
